Well, I love the design and I sure wouldn’t mind wearing it (postage fees kill me though…), I was just wondering if the design meant to be completely abstract or if there was anything behind the shape else than an aesthetic consideration.

Jakub’s right, I usually just try to make a shirt I would wear. This particular design says “57”, but the meaning doesn’t really go beyond that. I like to play with letters and numbers in a sort of arbitrary way, just relying solely on their aesthetic value.

Thanks for the critique….but it’s always interesting to me when people who normally comment on this blog as themselves decide to go anonymous for critiques. I enjoy your work, so would have made the criticism all the more valid knowing the reference point that it came from.

I like it, it is very subtile. Also I think design is really all about accuracy and detail, which in this case you see in the colour choice and the placing.
It’s nice, playfull and suggestive.
I might buy one, but the shippingcosts make it pretty expensive.

“SYV” in coffee is without a question my favorite shirt in my wardrobe and I have gotten countless compliments on it. Something that is somewhat rare for a non-“graphic” for lack of a better word, tee.

I’m sorta torn on this one.

I like the design on this, however the transfer to apparel is somewhat awkward looking. I don’t know if it’s just placed too high up on the shirt or what but it’s almost claustrophobic.

I hope to see more additions (not just shirt type/color, but new designs).

The blue on grey is vibrant, and that’s nice. But come on guys, you’re designers. This isn’t much better than Illustrator 101: How to make a rectangle, and you’ve already covered that with your “SYV” shirt. Seriously. Sorry, but it had to be said.
